The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

60 – Prelude to Revenge

After returning to the kingdom, Yuuna worked harder to secure her position.

The King was still bedridden, but had not yet chosen a successor.

It wasn’t a state that could be said to be healthy, but it wasn’t like dying right away.

He was still thinking about deciding on a successor.

If the king officially nominates Yuuna as the next king, things will proceed smoothly.

Even if it wasn’t, there was no way, but it would be annoying.

Until now, the king’s choice had been almost inclined towards the first prince, but there was no way he had not heard the recent news about Yuuna.

He’s probably also thinking a lot. Even though he cared for the first prince, when he thought about the future of the kingdom, he couldn’t make a decision based on his heart alone.

“Ugh… !”

Yuna, who had been sitting in her office since morning doing work, stretched her back and relaxed only after the morning schedule was finished.

Since returning from the Empire, hectic days have continued.

“… Beryl.”

“Yes, princess.”

Beryl was still by her side.

After returning from the Empire, Beryl was assigned to guard her during the day. Instead, they were all excluded from night work.

It was Yuna’s order. It was an order that could not be said to be justified, but Yuna did it.

“… … ”

Yuuna, who called Beryl, looked at him as if she didn’t know anything.

Beryl looked down at Yuna for a moment, sighed slightly, and knelt in front of her sitting on the chair.

“Hmm… ”

Then, he pulls Yuna’s chin in an attitude like a knight swearing. And kiss.

Yuuna now entrusts her lips and body to him without any sign of rejection.

Recently, whenever they had time alone together, they kissed like this.

No one mentioned the kiss.

However, when Yuna always looked at Beryl with eyes that seemed to want her, Beryl responded.

And after drooling for a long time as if they were going to eat each other, the two let go without saying a word.

And then I went back to work as if nothing had happened.

Every time that happened, Yuna felt something regretful, but she didn’t show it.

This is because Beryl always returned with a cold expression even after kissing. He didn’t look sad at all.

Something about his attitude made me feel worse, but I couldn’t stop kissing him. As each day passed, more and more demands were made.

For that reason, it felt too good to be stopped.

“… Would you like to eat?”

“… “Let’s do that.”

After the kiss, Yuna’s face was red, but she stood up as if nothing had happened.

Stand tall-

While trying to leave the room to eat, Yuna stopped in front of the door without opening it.

Then he turned around and looked up at Beryl.

“… after.”

Beryl said nothing about it. I just bent down again and approached her.

Now, Yuuna’s problem couldn’t be resolved without a series of kisses like this. No, on the contrary, my regrets only piled up.

But Beryl did nothing more than kiss. Of course, Yuna also remained silent because she didn’t know what to do next.

The only thing she could do was to keep asking for kisses to relieve that strange, unquenchable desire.

Every time we kissed, I clung to him without realizing it and groped his entire body, but that wasn’t enough anymore.

“Paha… ”

“… Please leave now. “There is a backlog of work even in the afternoon.”

“… all right.”

After kissing again, Yuna eventually left the office.

For some reason, I felt grumpy at him pushing me away firmly, but I couldn’t do anything about it.

Yuna was becoming more and more addicted to this act.

Without even realizing it, he is now asking for kisses without any conscious thought.

“Then you can reduce the medication a little. Your withdrawal symptoms have gotten much better.

Duke Ceramide.

For the first time in a while, I had a treatment consultation with Syria.

As time passed, today was the day I had to kiss Syria, and Syria tolerated the medicine well.

The therapist said that a lot of the medicinal energy remaining in the body was gone. This is probably the longest time I have had to endure medication during treatment.

However, the withdrawal symptoms were much reduced compared to before and my physical condition was also good. This meant that the treatment was going well.

“If I give it a little longer, I might be able to tolerate it without treatment. “This is a good thing.”

“Then make a baby…” !”

“It’s not possible. “Let’s talk after you completely stop taking the medication.”

“Hey… “

She still enjoyed kissing, but now she seemed to be slowly becoming greedy for the next level.

But I couldn’t make it that easy right away.

It was good news to me that her condition was improving.

Now Yuna’s throne was becoming more and more certain, and then the time I had been waiting for would come.

By that time, Ceramide had fallen along with Helia, and it was nice to see Syria completely return to normal before that.

“hmm. So, why not try creating another hobby? “If you find something to focus on, it will be easier to spend more time.”

“hobby?”

“yes. Whatever it is, it’s okay. Be it art or music. Or, it would be nice to explore academics, such as making something.”

“Umm… ”

For the first time in a while, the therapist spoke like a doctor.

It’s a hobby. It certainly seemed like she would look for me less if she had something to focus on.

“what should we do?”

“It would be better to make it something that the princess can enjoy.”

A hobby for Syria.

Now that I think about it, Syria seemed to have been quite interested in drawing when she was young.

His skills were also decent, and he would often show his drawings to me and Yuna.

“painting… How about the same thing?”

“… painting?”

Syria’s expression stiffened for a moment at my suggestion, but then came back again.

Is there a reason why I dislike paintings? It seemed like he wasn’t very happy.

“… okay!”

However, contrary to concerns, Syria accepted the proposal.

Although it seemed like he was trying hard to smile, his expression wasn’t bad.

“great. Well, I hope I can see everything next time I come. It’s okay even if it’s not a finished product. “If you draw at least one stroke every day, that’s enough.”

After finishing the consultation, my therapist and I left the Duke’s residence.

From noble mtl dot com

“How is the condition?”

“It’s pretty good. It’s also a good sign that you’re interested in painting. “If things continue like this, I don’t know if I can really quit.”

“… Is that so.”

It can be said that Syria’s treatment is almost at its end.

Fortunately, other situations have also made considerable progress.

“… See you next time then.”

Everything was going smoothly.

Director Mernis has had a lot of worries recently.

The king was still unable to get up from his sick bed, and if this continued, he would really have to decide on a successor and pass on the throne.

And of course, contrary to expectations that the 1st prince would inherit the throne, the 4th princess rose up, rapidly increasing her power.

There were many factors, but the biggest factor was that she was an unexalted wizard.

If a wizard with greater talent than the wizards of the Imperial Magic Tower sought the throne, there were not many nobles who would oppose him.

In fact, there were many nobles who had betrayed the 1st prince’s side and turned around, and most of the nobles whose original power was ambiguous were on the 4th princess’s side.

Moreover, it was said that a group of wizards led by an unknown nobleman named Eric were under her control, so it was safe to say that the trend was already going down.

In fact, considering the country’s power, it seemed right for her to become king.

Moreover, considering that the magic tower was being built, there honestly wasn’t much reason to interfere with her reign.

“Ah, Captain.”

“okay. “You’ve been through a lot.”

Leader Mernis visited the escort knights.

I didn’t specifically come to see my daughter, but to meet the leader of the Guard Knights.

Although he was the same leader, Mernis had a much longer knight career. In fact, it felt like he was the leader among the leaders, so it was safe to say that the current knights were under his influence.

“Are you here because you’re worried about Lia again?”

“hahahaha. If anyone hears it, they will misunderstand it. That’s not necessarily true. Of course, there are reasons for that.”

“He seems to be doing okay lately.”

“is it. “Good.”

Lia’s condition had been visibly deteriorating in recent weeks, so Director Mernis was naturally worried about her.

In fact, it is said that she has been using a lot of sick leave recently and has been unable to properly concentrate on her mission or training.

As a knight, he could have said something sternly, but Captain Mernis knew what kind of knight his daughter was, so he just watched in silence.

I decided that if the child was having such a hard time, something serious must have happened.

However, I didn’t bother to approach him first and ask. It’s just a matter of hearing the news through the head of the guard knights.

Because Lia was also a knight. Since he chose the path of becoming a knight, he had to take responsibility for it.

That was what Director Mernis thought of as chivalry, and it was his teaching method.

“You seem to be worried a lot. “Is it because of the throne?”

“… yes. “The Knights must not take anyone’s side politically, but it is also true that they must follow His Majesty’s will.”

“Your Majesty must have a lot to worry about. “The Four Princesses’ recent trends are not something to be ignored.”

“yes… To be honest, if you think about the country… “I wonder if I should change my meaning.”

Director Mernis was also realizing what was best for the country.

However, as a knight, it was difficult to easily abandon that loyalty.

Because every knight had an honor that he had to protect in addition to his interests.

“How are you with the 1st Prince?”

“There hasn’t been much interaction recently. Because you’re so busy, there’s no need to talk. Maybe you think it will work against you. 1The prince.”

“… That might be possible.”

It was also recently that the interaction between the First Prince and Leader Mernis decreased.

As the first prince, he had to show only good results as a successor, but his recent actions have not been like that.

From his perspective, there was no reason to meet with Director Mernis.

“How about visiting sometime? “It might be good to hear the 1st Prince’s honest feelings.”

Although he was related to the First Prince and the Commander of the Knights, he had seen the First Prince since he was young.

In fact, it is safe to say that they are uncle and nephew. The personal intimacy was also high.

This was also the reason why Director Mernis could not easily abandon the first prince.

“… is it. “That would be nice too.”

Sometimes, it may be necessary to leave politics aside and talk openly like before.

Commander Mernis smiled self-deprecatingly at the words of the guard knight commander and muttered that.

“Of course. “I have to go right away.”

“Well thought out.”

From the Knights’ point of view, they were caught in the middle due to the ambiguous attitude of Leader Mernis.

Everyone hoped that he would quickly decide on a direction.

Even though the rank-and-file knights don’t know, high-ranking knights have been under a lot of pressure since the Four Princesses entered the war.

“I’ll go. “Thank you.”

“I hope you have a hard time.”

Director Mernis headed to the First Prince’s office without hesitation.

What came to mind was that I had to do it at the right time to develop my aptitude.

smart-

“Prince 1. “I am the 1st Knight Commander.”

Director Mernis knocked on the door of the First Prince’s office.

It was late in the evening to work, but the First Prince spent most of his time in his office, so he went there.

But there was no answer from inside, and when I turned the door handle slightly, it wasn’t locked.

“… “You’re not there.”

Director Mernis looked into the room and realized that the first prince was not there.

The room was completely littered with documents. It was a part that showed how desperate the situation was.

“hmm… ”

Director Mernis entered the office.

I didn’t think he would come back, but I wanted to stay in the office for a while.

I wondered if seeing how hard he was working would give me some confidence.

“also… “You haven’t changed.”

After scanning the 1st Prince’s desk, Director Mernis smiled and murmured with satisfaction.

His desk, which seemed messy at first glance, was actually organized according to his own rules.

The others were dizzy just looking at it, but it was clear that the First Prince would get his work done smoothly at this messy desk.

“… hmm?”

As Director Mernis was about to leave, he found an object in the slightly opened drawer of his desk that caught his eye strangely.

Although its exact identity was unknown, it seemed to be a magic tool.

Director Mernis stretched out his hand as if possessed by something and opened the drawer door.

“This… ”

In the drawer, a magic tool and a mysterious mask were placed among the miscellaneous items.

If it was just magic tools, I would have overlooked it, but the fact that the mask contained a desk drawer was very suspicious.

Leader Mernis picked up the magic tool and looked around.

As he was not well versed in the latest magical engineering, he had no way of knowing what it was.

It was a tool that looked like a crystal ball, but I had no idea what it was, so I turned it around.

Hwaak-

“Ugh… ?!”

Then, as if he had touched something, light suddenly poured out from the magic tool, and an image began to play on the wall that the light touched.

-Ugh… Haa… ♡ Stop… Stop… ♡

“what… ?”

And the video contained an image of his daughter who could not believe it.

With the image of a masked man in a drawer.
